The Federation of Islamic Organisations in Europe: the calamity of the people of Somalia is aggravated by the flood disaster

The Federation of Islamic Organisations in Europe expresses its deep concern regarding the situation of those affected by floods that ravaged areas of Somalia leaving behind countless victims and many displaced persons.

The Federation draws attention to the fact that this new disaster exacerbates the existing suffering in Somalia as a result of endemic drought and internal strife, greatly increasing the burden of suffering on the inhabitants.

The Federation shares with the Somali people their feelings of grief, and expresses its heartfelt condolences to all the families that have lost relatives and loved ones.

The Federation urges Muslims, and charitable and medical organisations in Europe to provide relief and assistance to those affected in this tragedy in Somalia.
